Can the USB Ports be Daisy chained to monitor multiple units from 1 UPS?

I have multiple Ready Nas units of various ages, they all have dual USB on the back.  I have one very large UPS which theey are all plugged into. Can I take the UPS-USB out and connect it to 3 Ready...

You can connect the UPS via USB to one NAS and share it over your network. Obviously the router/switch and NAS units would need to all have their power supplies plugged into the UPS.

 

No you cannot daisy chain using USB. The NAS is not a USB peripheral. The USB ports are for connecting USB peripherals to the NAS.

    Thank you, what about using a usb hub?

    Connect the UPS to the hub and then the hub to the 3 NAS units?

      That wouldn't work.

       

      What problem do you have with connecting the power for the router/switch to the UPS?
